General Cultivation Q&A

Hi. I'm pretty new to this but I'm an eager learner. Here is my deal. I have an aerogarden that I'm using for cloning (my grow is soil). It works good but I'm only using tapwater and adding a little 3% hydrogen peroxide each day. Thats it. No nutrients or anything. I get roots on all of them EVENTUALLY (some strains much faster than others), usually between 10-20 days they show roots. By the 8th day or so I am seeing yellowing of the leaves and little burn spots on the tips of the leaves where I made cuts. I eventually move them to soil when they are ready but alot of times there are no leaves left at all by the time the roots are enough to transfer to soil. I us…

Hey all Me and my mate are looking into the wonderful world of outdoor growing we are planning to grow out in the bush near were we live , we've had a few indoor crops nothing to major , and I was curious as ive heard a few conflicting things as to preparing your area. I was wondering if its worth the trouble of fertilising the soil before hand or if its a better idea to do it when your transfering plants over ? And what is a good fertaliser to use? Next questions i suppose would be the use of water crystals and wether they are actually worth it? i have heard that water crystals can also soak up liquid fertiliser which can lead to burning the roots could anyone cla…

Hi all, first time on here so give me a break if sounds bit stupid Heres the story, I've grown a bunch outdoors but have started trying the girls indoors. I tried first time and ran coco peat under a 600w in a tent on a run to waste. I never really bothered with PH and ec just followed the instructions on the back of the bottles of A&B. Unfortunatly I have to go away for 3-5 days at a time and sometimes a full 7 days. This didnt work caus i think I overwaterd it using a pump and a timer. Any way I got spider mite and couldnt bring em back, was too far gone. So I've decided to make it easier and am running rocks with clones in rockwool on a recirculating system…
